What is the use of ceramics modeled after disposable tableware?

When seeing the description that it is crafted in the exact shape of a disposable plate, one wonders about the reason for reproducing a thin form that is easily thrown away in ceramic to use as tableware, as well as its practicality.

[마루히로 하사미] BARBAR KEEPWARE 플레이트 (3size)
hmmm editorial answer

Maruhiro's KEEPWARE plate replicates the appearance of disposable tableware, yet because it is ceramic tableware shaped from clay and fired, it can be used continuously.

They are from the same BARBAR line, but can both the noodle bowls and the soba cups be put in the dishwasher?

Since they are tableware from the same series, it is easy to think they would share the same care instructions. This question is to confirm whether it is safe to put both dishes into the dishwasher together.

The Iroha noodle bowl and the Aikoma low noodle bowl can be used in the dishwasher, but the soba cup cannot be used in the dishwasher and must be washed by hand.

What kind of manufacturing method does 'Tatara' in the dish name refer to?

The unfamiliar word 'Tatara' repeatedly appears in the dish names or descriptions, but it is difficult to grasp what specific process it entails, leading to this question.

[마루히로 하사미] BARBAR 타타라 오발 플레이트 26cm
hmmm editorial answer

Tatara refers to a traditional ceramic molding technique where clay rolled out thinly like a slab is placed onto a mold and patted by hand to shape it.

What kind of tableware is the 'oryoki' mentioned in the TAGAYA description?

While reading the dish description, I came across the unfamiliar expression 'inspired by oryoki.' I want to understand what shape and purpose the tableware is modeled after before choosing.

[마루히로 하사미] Takahiro Yasuda TAGAYA 볼 (5size / 5type)
hmmm editorial answer

Oryoki refers to a temple tableware set where dishes nest neatly into one another in order of size, and TAGAYA borrowed this method to design five sizes of bowls and plates that interlock and stack together.
